pumpkin spice cake recipe instructions

Why stop at pumpkin spice lattes when you can bring cake into the mix.

ingredients:

Cake
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 1/2 cup canola or vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste

Frosting

• 6 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste

directions:

1. Cake – Preheat oven to 350 F. Line an 8×8-inch pan with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray; set aside.
2. To a large bowl, add the eggs, sugar, pumpkin, oil, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, and whisk to combine.
3. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and stir until just combined, don’t overmix. Turn batter out into prepared pan, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula. Bake for about 35 to 40 minutes or until center is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Set cake aside on a cooling rack to cool completely before frosting it so the frosting doesn’t melt.
4. Frosting – To a large bowl (or to the bowl of a stand mixer) add the cream cheese, butter, confectioners’ sugar, vanilla, salt, and whisk until smooth and fluffy or beat with an electric mixer (or use the paddle attachment of a stand mixer). Turn frosting out onto cake and spread into a smooth, even, flat layer using a spatula or knife. Slice and serve.
